Works awesome
Crazy cool plugin! It works great (also with page builders like Elementor). Thank you.
Nice tool
Great tool. It would’ve been nice if it could support bulk upload of featured images, as a gallery (just like in woocommerce product galleries). Thanks!
A must-have
Adds so much more flexibility for designing a post, or displaying content in different contexts (home page, single post, archive). Thank you for this great plugin!
